Switching from acting to writing was a strange, bumpy road and had a lot to do with getting back into my good Comp Lit college habits. Here's a piece I wrote about falling back in love with reading again up at ‪HelloGiggles‬ today.

Hello Giggles is a site for positive community-building online, and as such they're fantastic, particularly for women and girls, and I'm very excited to be writing for them. This is a gender-neutral piece, though, where I address what people are always asking me about: how I find time to read so much.

Its' definitely an addiction like any other. It's gotten so bad my husband has banned me from purchasing books online. I actually feel jitters when I know I can't instantly purchase all of Raymond Chandler or a volume of Keats' letters or the play The Lady's Not For Burning (all of which I'm jonesing for right now, although I already have a formidable pile of unread books to get through and no clams, sigh.) This is why we need decent libraries. SO MANY GOOD BOOKS. SO LITTLE TIME (and money)!
